Comments Off on Giveaway: Win an iPad Mini, and Courtney Milan’s New Enhanced Ebooks!
Courtney Milan is releasing enhanced ebooks of her backlist, and wanted to host a giveaway to celebrate. Heck yeah! But of course, I have questions. Sarah: What's an enhanced ebook? Courtney: Enhanced ebooks are books that have an additional, non-book component to them–things like audio, video, pictures, author commentary. They're the director's cut of a book, except there are no directors. Here are two other romance authors who have self-published enhanced ebooks. Christina Dodd has put … Continue reading Giveaway: Win an iPad Mini, and Courtney Milan’s New Enhanced Ebooks! →
This RITA® Reader Challenge 2014 review was written by Layla A. This story was nominated for the RITA® in the Historical Romance category. The summary: Sebastian Malheur is the most dangerous sort of rake: an educated one. When he’s not scandalizing ladies in the bedchamber, he’s outraging proper society with his scientific theories. He’s desired, reviled, acclaimed, and despised—and he laughs through it all. Violet Waterfield, the widowed Countess of Cambury, on the other hand, … Continue reading RITA Reader Challenge: The Countess Conspiracy by Courtney Milan →

Courtney Milan is a masterful writer who never disappoints. The Countess Conspiracy is not my favorite of her books but I think it will make many romance readers very happy indeed. The plot is this: Sebastian is the kind of rake we find in romance all the time – one who is not a jerk. That is to say: he does not despoil virgins, he does not string his lovers along with emotional promises, and … Continue reading The Countess Conspiracy by Courtney Milan →
I’m just going to say it – I love everything Courtney Milan writes. Some of her stuff has a huge emotional impact on me (Unveiled, A Kiss For Midwinter) and some has a medium/high emotional impact on me, but everything she writes leaves me with some level of good book sigh. The Heiress Effect is no exception. The Heiress Effect is the second book in the Brother’s Sinister series (loosely connected stand-alones, with accompanying novellas). … Continue reading The Heiress Effect, by Courtney Milan →
COURTNEY MILAN HOW DO YOU BRAIN. There was NOT A GOOD GODDAMN THING I DID NOT LIKE ABOUT THIS BOOK. Nothing. Jane Fairfield has two problems. One: she has an uncle, who is the guardian of her younger sister, and he is, basically, The Worst. You hear about people being Human Tennis Elbow, and Uncle Titus is basically it. Two: She has a shitton of money and her uncle wants her to marry. Now. Anyone. … Continue reading The Heiress Effect By Courtney Milan →

A Kiss for Midwinter is my new favorite novella. It has a flawed but interesting heroine, it has a hero who is scientific, compassionate, and basically amazing, and it takes its characters through a powerful emotional journey with lots of angst but also lots of humor. I never would have thought I'd find this line sexy, but I most certainly do… “Besides, the hymen is just a membrano-carneous structure situated at the entrance of the … Continue reading A Kiss For Midwinter by Courtney Milan: A Guest Review by CarrieS →
The Duchess War is lovely – smart, touching, funny, sexy, and dizzyingly romantic. Read it right away – yes, now. Everything on your to-do list can wait, believe me. The Duchess War is the first book in Milan's new Victorian Era romance trilogy, The Brothers Sinister. There's a prequel, The Governess Affair, (A | BN | K | S | ARe | iB) (SB grade: B+) which is delightful reading but not at all necessary … Continue reading The Duchess War by Courtney Milan: A Guest Review By CarrieS →
